Answer:

x^8 - x + √6

Explanation:

The fourth expression is a trinomial (a polynomial with three terms). The term √6 is acceptable because it's a constant; it's the coefficient of x^0.

ANSWER

D.


{x}^(6) - x + √(6)

EXPLANATION

A trinomial is a simplified polynomial with three terms.

The first option is not a polynomial because of the presence of √x.

The second option is not a trinomial because it has only two terms.

The third option is not a polynomial because of the presence of


(1)/(x)

The last option:


{x}^(6) - x + √(6)

This is trinomial because it has three terms and cannot be simplified further.

There is not fractional exponent.
